This journal is for family and friends of people suffering from long term, chronic illnesses. Caregivers of such patients often experience their own illnesses as a result of giving all of themselves to their loved ones. Stress, physical exhaustion, depression, changes in mental and physical health, and many more things are often side effects that come with caregiving. This journal will help caregivers with having a safe place to express their challenges, fears, and hopes. It offers prompts that will encourage a caregiver to think about caring for themselves in the same way that they are caring for the people or person they love.

Who are caregivers? This book is intended not just for the typical caregivers we think of but for a whole realm of people who care for others. A caregiver can be many things, such as a teacher, nurse, doctor, pharmacist, therapist, practitioner, coach, trainer, an individual who provides regular direct care for a family member or a friend, someone who works in a care facility, and or a parent caring for their child and not making time for themselves. A caregiver may also be a person that cares for those with health conditions such as Parkinson's disease, Autism, Developmental disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, Traumatic brain injury, Dementia, Spinal cord injuries, Mental health issues, Dissociative identity disorder, Psychiatric disorders, and More. Why a self-care journal for caregivers? For caregivers to successfully help those under their care, they need to provide themselves with self-care. If they are not taking care of their physical, emotional, and mental health, they will not be as equipped to serve others. This journal will provide caregivers with the needed channel to document their own self-care journey and provide inspiration and internal peace. Using this journal for 60 days will give caregivers accountability to themselves. We know that when we repeat actions for a prolonged period of time, consistently, it becomes a routine. Self-care is a routine that is non-negotiable, and this journal will set the tone for the present and future healthy you. Give yourself grace. You don't have to do it all, be it all & or know it all. You don't have to compare yourself to others or live up to anyone else's expectations. What's more important is to take each moment with breath, intention & presence. You will be bringing out your highest and best self when you slow down and realize that life is beautiful even if you don't do it all or have all the answers. You will be a better and healthier you when you give yourself grace.

An understudied aspect of the HIV/AIDS epidemic is the creation of hundreds of thousands of grandparent-headed households that have become home to children bereft of one or both of their parents. Such "skip-generation parenting" presents a host of challenges to the families involved and the social programs designed to assist them. Despite this unprecedented caregiving responsibility, older surrogate parents remain relatively invisible, hidden in the shadows of HIV care and the demands of raising a child. The primary goal of Invisible Caregivers is to generate, support, and guide program and policy initiatives designed to meet the needs of elder surrogates and their families. Most social service programs are not able to identify the needs of older surrogates, often because these surrogate parents in HIV-infected families are reluctant to make their needs known for fear of social stigma or possible reductions of benefits. Multiple systemic barriers to case management and other services also frustrate attempts to bring available resources to elder caregivers. These barriers include professional ignorance or denial that HIV affects surrogates, eligibility restrictions through CARE, limited funding and age restriction on OAA, and a fragmented health and human service system. Because the issues facing elder caregivers are many and varied, this collection covers a host of issues: community health, aging, HIV services, child welfare, education, public policy, and mental health.

Caregiving is complex. It demands us to be patient, strong, persistent, fearless and gentle. We are called on to be advocates, listeners, errand-runners and negotiators. At the same time we deal with our own feelings of guilt, failure, disappointment and fear. All while trying to take care of ourselves so we can care for others. And yet in the midst of pain, fear and sorrow, the opportunity to be a caregiver is truly a gift. The time we spend with our loved ones is precious. There is an awareness of love that is amazingly profound. We experience an extraordinary deepening of faith. My intention is that this journal is a companion as you spend time waiting, worrying and wondering about your loved one. I hope you will use it to record the fleeting joys and profound struggles of caregiving. Please know that you are blessed beyond measure for your gracious giving.

"In a heartbeat, I now had a new full-time job... as Dale's caregiver." What do you do when suddenly, in one devastating moment, you're a patient advocate - nurse - decision maker 24/7? You begin to glean and gather in the midst of all the caregiving. Personal stories. Research. Successes. Failures. Truth. This journal recounts a caregiver's journey with a husband who suffered multiple strokes, lost his ability to talk, and fought his way back to living life fully in his highly individual-and ultimately wonderful, "new normal" way. Only those in the 24/7 caregiving role truly understand the depth and weightiness of this responsibility - facing the great unknown of physical, mental and emotional trauma. For all those extraordinary individuals who find themselves thrust into this seemingly nonstop caregiving...and for their families, Donna tells her story. Highly personal, she offers insights to be gleaned from the pages of her public and private writings - the good, the bad, and even the ugly. Through the Fire will encourage caregivers not merely to survive but to thrive in walking their own ever-changing path as they meet the often overwhelming needs of the care-needing person that they love.
